Tula State University at the 50-th “Chemistry for a Sustainable Future” IUPAC World Chemical Congress 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. It

was organised by the Malaysian Institute of Chemistry (IKM) and the general partner PhosAgro. 

The symposium summed up the results

of the “Green Chemistry for Life” grant program. In 2024, one of the grant program laureates was Bogdan Yanovich Karlinskiy, Head of the Laboratory of

chemical conversion of renewable biomass and organic synthesis. He noted that the grant allows expanding the direction of work and moving to more applied

biotechnological research.

This year's report was devoted to new generation polymeric materials, which have two important advantages over the

current ones:

the vast majority of plastics and resins today are based on products of non-renewable fossil raw materials;

the materials have an extremely low

rate of decomposition in nature.

For this reason, an extremely promising direction is the use of furan “platform compounds” - organic

molecules that can be obtained during the processing of plant materials: wood waste, canes, cabbage stalks, etc.

Furan-based polymers have infinitely

renewable plant resources, decompose in the soil tens of times faster, and often surpass current analogues in mechanical and thermal properties.

- Once the work is completed, this

will be a unique offer for industrial partners in the field of ecologically clean fuel production. I am grateful to PhosAgro for funding such international programs,

the opportunity to work on the cutting edge of world science, collaborate with international scientific organizations and expand my scientific interests, -

noted Bogdan Yanovich.
